Best eyeshadow for smokey eyes makeup

Out of all the makeup styles, I think monocromatic smokey eyes is what suits me best. At times I like combining 2 colors or even 3, just for the fun of it, but that is usually useless cuz more than 2 colors are hardly visible on my hooded lids, unless I walk with my eyes closed...and not even then, because I have to cover most of the lid with the black eyeliner, to create a nicer shape for my eyes. At times I crave wearing pinup makeup but then I have to keep my eyes half closed, at least when I look at myself in the mirror, haha. But alas, at leats I finaly found out what suits me best!
This is the color that I think it works best for me, goes fine with any outfit, even when I am tanned, day or night, any occasion. Perfect for my *pack as little things as possible and have all you need in there* project for holidays (or moving).

Please disregard my nose, it always comes too close to the camera lens and looks even bigger than it is. Arghh!
The eyeshadow is from Max Factor by Ellen Betrix, from the Earth Spirits collection (I think it came out a year ago, I dont even know if I can find it anymore...fingers crossed) and its number 107, Burnt Bark. I find it to be the perfect neutral shade, dark brown with a tiny bit of shimmer, just enough to make your eyes sparkle (your eyelids, that is) and what I love most is that it doesnt have a reddish tone, it's a cold brown, no warm shades in it at all which is great for me as I have a cold skin undertone (pinkish) and my eyes are brown with green shades, so, also cold toned. I am wearing it here on top of a cream eye pencil from Clinique (that I have smudged with a synthetic hair pencil brush), which I don't like wearing alone especially because of the chestnut shade in it, but which works great as a base (Clinique Cream Shaper for eyes, no. 105,Chocolate Lustre).
There is how they look:

If anyone is in search of a great color for all occasions, I definitely recommend this one. The quality is great, too, doesn't have much fall-off and it lasts quite long if you use it with a base of any kind (if you want it to last forever, lol, use the Manhattan eyeshadow base. But I warn you, it won't come off too easy, if at all!)

Keep smiling!
